*Target (protein/gene name): Succinate dehydrogenase flavoprotein, putative
*NCBI Gene # or RefSeq#: XM_804331.1
*Protein ID (NP or XP #) or Wolbachia#: XP_809424.1
*Organism (including strain): Trypanosoma cruzi
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/nuccore/XM_804331.1
*Background/Disease Information (sort of like the Intro to your Mini Research Write up):
Trypanosoma cruzi is a flagellate protozoan that is the cause of Chagas disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis. This disease is characterized as a tropical parasitic disease that is contracted when infected feces from organisms in the family Reduviidae enters the bloodstream. This protozoan can cause death in infected individuals by causing heart failure and disease of the internal organs. There is currently no treatment or cure for chronic forms of infection.

Essentiality of this protein: The protein shows a significant decrease in fitness for T. brucei when inhibited, which means there is probably a similar effect in T. cruzi.
Complex of proteins?:
Druggable Target: This has a druggability of .8, on a 0 to 1 scale.
